David,
Don't worry! The message boards aren't going anywhere. I've just had some higher than usual expenses for the message boards over the last six months and our book and military records sales are not keeping up. I've even invested in "Google Ads" to try and increase the service record and pension file sales, but due to some dramatic increases in the pricing of Union CMSR's and Pension files and some online alternatives for Confederate records for some of the "do-it-yourselfers", it has really decreased the revenue for the message boards.
I've got some ideas and alternatives for the future, but it will take me some time to implement them. Just thought I'd ask for a little help from my friends to pay some of the bills.
I appreciate the support I'm seeing already.
Jim
